SMOKERS are being offered help to quit through free courses in offices and factories across Sedgefield.
Specialist health worker Annie Pluse, an ex-smoker employed by Sedgefield Primary Care Trust, will also reach people through community groups and classes.
Smokers will be given free support and advice on quitting, Nicotine Replacement Therapy and Zyban, which can also help people give up.
Between April last year and the end of March, trust advisors helped 882 people to stop smoking for at least four weeks, exceeding their annual target of 550.
Contact the trust on (01429) 880888 or Ms Pulse on 07788 565065 for details.
